WOW! what a busy few days!! Dizzy busy.
The lil one came home after supper on the 24th.......... she got new Christmas pjs... we read "Twas the Night Before Christmas"....... she put out cookies and Eggnog for Santa ... we tucked her into bed.
Christmas morning I was up before the sun so I could get the cinnamon buns out of the fridge and rising in time for breakfast. Sir Steve was up around 6:30. The dog got up around 7. We sat waiting........ and waiting..................... and waiting. The lil one didn't stick her head out of her room until 8:00 AM!! 8:00 AM!!!
and then Christmas began ...............
Opening stockings in bed ............
I brought the cinnamon rolls out of the oven and we curled up by the tree with coffee/milk and cinnamon buns while we passed out gifts........
paper piled higher... and finally the gifts were all opened.. new clothes tried on....
Time to get ready to head to our Nation's Capital for Christmas with eldest daughter. Of course Mother Nature had to intervene..... and she sent freezing rain for us to drive through............. le sigh.
We arrived mid afternoon safely. And spent the rest of the day eating and laughing and opening more gifts. Sunday we played some board games and watched Anne of Green Gables.
Then like that it was all over........... and we're home. The lil one has been handed off to her mother till school starts and Sir Steve and I have a week to ourselves. Time to run some messages - hopefully get our booster shots - and time to reconnect (hopefully!)
Hopefully you get some RnR time this week!

DeleteSounds like a wonderful day Morningstar, despite the weather making the driving difficult. Are those actually pics of your place? It looks so lovely and festive.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week relaxing and connecting:)

DeleteI remembered how disappointed our parents were when we first slept late on Christmas morning. We sat an alarm the next year. Your Christmas Day sound sounds great. We're still waiting. Our Christmas will be on Jan. 7th.
ReplyDeleteJan 7th?? Is that 'cause of scheduling? or....?
DeleteThat all sounds pretty damn good. All cosy and snugly.
